How to change the amount of days Publisher log files are stored in the Application Data Folder

By default, log files are stored for 30 days and then are purged from the Application Data Folder.

You can change the value by doing the following 

1.) Stop the QlikView Distribution Service

2.) Browse to C:\ProgramFiles\QlikView\DistributionService and open/backup QVDistributionService.exe.config file via Notepad or another text editing program.

3.) Edit the entry:

<!-- The number of days to keep QDS logs -->

<add key="NbrOfDaysToKeepQDSLogs" value="30" /> to set the desired value.

4.) Save the file

5.) Restart the QlikView Distribution Service

Please note - As always, make sure to backup the config file before making changes.
